Property Description
Welcome to 8563 Benton, a Hidden Gem in Bells Corner! Tucked away on a quiet, secluded block, this 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath twin ranch offers the perfect blend of suburban peace and city convenience. Step inside to a sun-filled freshly painted living and dining area, where a large front window brings in plenty of natural light. Just off the dining room, the spacious kitchen is freshly painted and features lots of counter space and a newer dishwasher. Down the hall, you'll find the main bathroom, along with a generously sized third bedroom showcasing beautiful hardwood floors-hinting at the hidden potential beneath the carpet throughout the home. The rear of the home offers a large secondary bedroom with a roomy closet and a primary suite complete with double-door closet and private master bath. The recently remodeled lower level expands your living options with LVP flooring, recessed lighting, ample closet space, and a convenient half bath-perfect as a family room, home office, or even a guest suite. This level also includes laundry, utilities, and additional storage. Out back, enjoy driveway access, a one-car garage, and private parking. The real bonus? The property extends beyond the driveway, providing additional outdoor space that connects directly to Pennypack Park-a rare find that gives you even more room to relax and enjoy nature. Experience the best of both worlds: a quiet suburban feel with all the convenience of city living.
